im getting rdy to put my oil pan on but i dont know what side of the gasket on the oil pan cause one side has a groove and the other side is flat.

also do i need to put rtv sealant on the rear water transfer pipe?

ty

 

nvm im stupid and the oil pan gasket can only go on one way lol

but i still dont know about the rtv sealant on the water transfer pipe?

 

with a good o-ring there should be no leak. its more less press fit when its all together

 

i hear they are a PAIN IN THE BUTT to get on and bolted up without leaking oil. Hopefully you do alright though

 

put sealant between the pan and the gasket

 

ok guys ty for the help

 

Yeah, i just did this a couple weeks ago. Honda calls really for no sealant, but i always add a little bit of ultra grey (hondabond) on the dimples to ensure a tight install
